About Dutchie
Founded in 2017, Dutchie is a comprehensive technology platform powering dispensary operations, while providing consumers with safe and easy access to cannabis. Dutchie aims to further support the positive societal change the cannabis industry brings to the world through wellness benefits, social justice, and empowering local communities through tax revenue. Powering thousands of dispensaries across 40+ markets throughout the United States and Canada, Dutchie is the leading technology company in the cannabis space and was named in Fast Company’s 10 Most Innovative Companies in North America and listed two years in a row on LinkedIn’s Top 50 Startups.
Dutchie has raised over $600M in funding to date, backed by D1 Capital Partners, Tiger Global, Dragoneer, DFJ Growth, Thrive Capital, Howard Schultz, Snoop Dogg’s Casa Verde Capital, Gron Ventures, members of the founding team at DoorDash, Kevin Durant’s Thirty Five Ventures, and other notable angel investors.
About the Role…
We are seeking someone who can be a technical thought leader, a project lead, and a hands-on developer, all at once. Some of our projects last multiple months with several developers, and some of our efforts are very long term items, trying to position ourselves for 2026 and beyond. As a Staff Engineer on the platform team, you’ll do it all.
The Ecomm Platform team at Dutchie is focused on the foundation that our customer experiences are built on. Some of them are owned by Dutchie, some by 3rd parties, and some are entirely API driven. Our team owns, maintains, and improves the whole suite.
We are a collaborative team of multiple experience levels of full-stack developers, working in Ruby, Rails, and React, among other technologies, with Mongo, Postgres and Snowflake as our data stores.
In some ways, our ecommerce experience is exactly as you’d expect, in other ways it’s vastly different. Our customers are the Dispensaries (retail shops), who are looking to give a good experience to their customers (consumers of the product.) The success of our retailers is what directly drives Dutchie’s success.
What You’ll Do…
- Develop mission-critical consumer flows for new features, as well as experimenting on old ones
- Partner with product and design to scope and plan work appropriately. We don’t always have the time to take the ideal route, so being able to collaborate cross-functionally and create flexible execution plans is often key
- Mentoring other engineers to unlock their potential, helping them grow their skills to meet the evolving needs of Dutchie’s customers
What You Bring…
- 5+ years of development experience required. Ruby, Rails and React are nice to have, but not required.
- Leadership skills, including experience successfully mentoring others
- Good communication skills, including cross-functional communication, both in writing and in person
- You have experience building user experiences within complex products.
- You take pride in the code you write - it’s clean, tested, organized. Strong fundamentals
- You want to work in an agile environment - we move quickly and ship code often
It’s a bonus if you…
- Know how to create your own point-of-views, and explain them (and move off them when called for)
- You have gone through a rapid growth period in a previous company (from startup to mid-size)
- You think through problems starting from first-principles and the customer’s perspective
You’ll Get…
We are targeting a starting salary of $149,000 - $200,000 based on the intended level for this role.
In addition to cash compensation, our total rewards package includes:
- Full medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.
- Equity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.
- Technology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance
- Flexible vacation and sick days
